Europe is a group of national electricity markets, not one solar market
Solar is widespread across Europe, but a homeowner in France, Germany, Spain or the United Kingdom can face different grid rules, export arrangements, taxes, incentives, installer requirements and approved equipment lists. Melnti therefore treats Europe as a navigation layer and keeps the important facts on country and local pages.
What changes from country to country
- Grid-connection and notification rules
- Export compensation and self-consumption economics
- VAT, grants, loans or other incentives
- Battery and inverter certification requirements
- Roof, heritage-building and fire-safety rules
- Installer qualifications and warranty support
Climate still matters
Solar can work in northern as well as southern Europe, but annual yield, winter production, snow, coastal exposure and summer heat affect the design. A higher-efficiency module can be useful where roof space is limited, while a battery only makes financial sense when the household’s load profile and local tariffs support it.
How Melnti will expand
Country pages should be added before city pages, and city pages should only become indexable when they contain local information that is genuinely different from the national page. The installer layer can then connect verified businesses to the exact places they serve.
